El Faro

LA Gastronomie espagnole à Genève. Restaurant iconique qui traverse le temps et qui reste toujours au top. Un restaurant avec une vraie tradition familiale. Des plats de haute qualité et une carte des vins variées et précise.

Recently visited El Faro for lunch, and I must say, it's an absolute gem for those who appreciate high-quality, delicious food! The star of the meal undoubtedly the grilled sole fish – perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. Before serving, the staff presented the whole grilled fish at the table, showcasing its freshness, and then expertly deboned it. You can tell they use the freshest ingredients, and the attention to detail in seasoning was remarkable. While the meal was on the pricier side, the exceptional taste and the upscale ambiance made it well worth the splurge. The service was attentive and professional. It was nice to sit at the outdoor area on a sunny day. If you’re in the mood for fine Spanish cuisine, especially seafood, this place is a must-try!

J’y ai mangé pour l’anniversaire d’un membre de ma famille. Si vous aimez le poisson, les portions généreuses et être servis avec le sourire, vous êtes au bon endroit. Le service est digne d’un 5 étoiles, et les ingrédients sont d’une grande fraîcheur. Les prix sont certes élevés, mais parfaitement à la hauteur de la qualité des plats proposés. Je recommande ce restaurant à tous les amateurs de poissons et de fruits de mer.

Tip beforehand: make sure you have a reservation, because this restaurant is very popular. We went here for dinner without reservation and the friendly lady who welcomed us said the restaurant was fully booked. Seeing my disappointment, she proposed preparing a high table with some bar stools in the bar area of the restaurant. We gladly accepted her offer. Of course we had to order the paella which came in a pan for two persons. The waitress served the paella from the pan on our plates. The paella is really exceptionally good, so do try this dish. We also loved the excellent wine by the glass. We tried a glass of Albariño verdejo and a glass of Chardonnay. Both were great. While we were enjoying our meal some kind of influencer came in, insisting she would really love to try the crème El Faro. Since she didn't have a lot of time (she needed to catch a train), she wanted this dessert as quickly as possible. Preferably take-away. The lovely lady who offered us the table explained to her that take-away wasn't possible since that would ruin the dessert and she had to wait about twenty minutes for the dessert. Since the influencer only spoke English and the lady only French we gladly offered our translation services. After some more discussion the cook in the kitchen did an effort and the dessert arrived in about five minutes. In the meantime I had gotten very curious about this dessert, so I ordered one for myself. In fact the dessert was a crema catalana served on fresh pineapple. It sure was nice, but not really exceptional. I think I still prefer the classic crema catalana.

Je souhaite laisser un avis positif pour ce restaurant espagnol. La nourriture est authentique, le service est professionnel et la décoration est élégante. De plus, tant les clients que les serveurs sont espagnols. Une véritable expérience authentique que je recommanderais à quiconque cherche un délicieux repas espagnol dans une ambiance accueillante !

Le restaurant El Faro à Genève propose une cuisine espagnole authentique, avec un menu spécial le jeudi comprenant une salade de poulpe, une paella et un flan caramel. Apprécié pour sa convivialité et son service attentif, il est situé au 5 Rue de Fribourg. Le prix du menu est de 40 CHF hors boissons. Pour accompagner ce repas, nous avons été conseillés sur deux vins espagnols : le Muga Blanco et le Muga Selección, qui se sont révélés être d'excellents choix.
